MP3 Players...

What's your weapon of choice and why? I'm ready to buy but the choices are limitless.

I would prefer AA powered over built in battery. I'd like close to a gig memory...preferably flash w/ability to use SD/MMC cards to expand.

Would like to be able to set up playlists...but not a must have. I'd, of course, like to spend as little as possible as well. I've already decided on the Etymotic ER-6 ear buds now I just need a player.

I don't know how true this is since I don't know that much about technology in general (wooooo is me....) but I heard that the Ipods are only good for a couple years because of their built in battery and that once it's gone (the battery) then you have to buy a whole new player.....

I don't really think you can lose with anything nowadays. I'd personally steer away from anything hard drive based, since they're more prone to breaking when you drop them. However, I've heard a lot of them are pretty durable nowadays too...

But wouldnt recommend it...$100 after a $50 rebate from best buy, runs on 1 aaa bat (like 20 hours loud, not bad) and I bought the sony mini bud things off the shelf at best buy...30 bucks i think and they work great...no helmet pressure on the ear drums and they seal the ear drum resulting in good base and thats a good thing if you like speeding to techno

But sqrew rio all n all its hard to skip/replay songs when riding...I always end up stopping it or ff when I want to replay because the controls are so damn small! :rant so i just make sure i have a hella play list loaded and not mess with it

Nooooo! Someone played that a couple times on my camping trip over the weekend. Now it is going to be stuck in my head again. Since I don't have a player, that is what I will be hearing in my head on my 1.5 hour commute home. Thank you very much!

I use the Creative Muvo skiing and other reckless sports and it does well. Even doesn't mind moisture much.

It uses AAAs and gets about 6 hours on one at full volume. I just carry a couple of them with me and charge 'em when you can. Go to Wallmart and buy the highest amperage NiMH set you can and a charger and you will be set.
